About the Item
Gregory Kitterle's Eris at Play is a large 80 x 45 inch vertical figurative painting on canvas.
The work has very sober colors: white, black, beige, and some deep blue. It is painted like a trompe-l'oeil, an art technique that uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects exist in three dimensions. The work is titled Eris at Play. Eris is the Greek goddess of strife and discord and the most famous tale of Eris recounts her initiating the Trojan War by causing the Judgement of Paris. Kitterle brings on canvas a theatrical scene. The viewer has the impression of standing on the back of the stage as the play takes place. The dramatic use of chiaroscuro, with the black foreground and the beige figures sharply cut out on the white background adds to the theatrical atmosphere.
The artist states, "The irregularities of my painting surfaces, stains, blotches and scratches, created while working become specters that rise to tell their tale; each as individual as the eyes that behold them. My conversing with these specters of the various materials is like wandering in a labyrinth. Some are clear, offering easy images to share. Others sunken only whispering their possibilities. With its depth sometimes as thin as a sheet of paper, yet one can wander in it for miles and many hours. The images in my work are from tales told to me during my spectral wanderings in this labyrinth of surface."
